Big News, Nothing Happened...New Low for the Pantagraph.

Dateline Wapella: the Pantagraph front page Headline blares "Thieves used fake check to steal $45K from DeWitt Co." begs the question, how thieves got away with this...the short answer...they didn't. DeWitt County did not lose any money, nor did Wapella on a similar scheme a week ago.

This is irresponsible journalism. The Pantagraph could write 10,000 headlines a day about thefts that did not occur. Any given bar in the Wapella area has 100 bank heists plotted a day that do not occur.

I look forward to reading about No Jewel Heist in Chenoa, No Counterfeiters in Hudson, No Chop Shops in El Paso as the weeks roll on in the Pantagraph's crime spree.

If the county wasn't defrauded, why did the sheriff say it was?

Where has everyone gone on this blog? Nothing new to report, and I'm beginning to wonder if I should even keep this site bookmarked as a favorite.

Has anyone ever heard of Harrold's Point School? A friend has a picture taken of a class in 1911.

I recall hearing of it, though I do not know its exact location. It was located northtwest of Wapella, probably in Wapella Township. You may try a Harrold family website. I am 84 and grew up in Wapella. Johnny Harrold and I were of the same generation.
